When we think about the basic needs of children in orphanages—food, shelter, education—healthcare is often on that list, but vision care tends to get overlooked. Yet, something as simple as an eye test could change the life of a child forever.
Imagine a child struggling to read, falling behind in school, and being labeled as “slow”—when all they really need is a pair of glasses.
That’s why regularizing free eye screening in orphanages isn’t just a good idea—it’s a necessary step towards giving every child the fair shot they deserve.
